Comment by Getulio Bastos on August 28, 2008 at 1:57pm: Gentlemen,

This is a letter I just sent to Congressman Ron Klein of West Palm Beach and Florida Senator Bill Nelson. I suggest that all of our members do something similar to your congress members to provoke some reaction from our politicians.

Mr. Bill Nelson,

Florida is one of the worst hit states in the Real Estate crisis. Our tourism industry is being hit tremendously by the gasoline price hikes. And our state is one of the least served with alternative forms of energy. But we can do something about it and one of the things we can do is to facilitate the creation of an infrastructure to sell, install conversion kits in our cars and distribute natural gas within our region.

There are entrepreneurs interested in creating this infrastructure, but the major obstacle is EPA, which has no scientific reason to keep their antique regulations for the conversion of our cars to use natural gas in our roads. There are no technology barriers at all.

It would save our taxpayers a lot of money in the near future while providing for a new source of employment for thousands of Floridians in a brand new industry. In training of new mechanics, installation of conversion kits, installation of natural gas filling stations, distribution of natural gas across the state and maintenance of it all.

There’s a Bill going through Congress now, entitled “THE DRIVE AMERICA ON NATURAL GAS ACT OF 2008” introduced by Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma.

If you need to research more about it, please visit www.push.pickensplan.com. Please, click here if you want to see the reactions to my discussion Brazil is 100% oil independent. Why aren't we?.

While there you can also see several pictures and videos related to the usage of natural gas as a vehicle propulsion energy both in Brazil and the US.

As a citizen I urge you to support this Bill to pass and provide easier means for our people to expend less on their cars while creating a new industry for the state of Florida.

Your voter,

Getulio Bastos

Comment by Marlene H. on August 14, 2008 at 5:03am: HAS ANYONE CONSIDERED THE COST OF NOT DOING THE PLAN.

As there is a cost for doing it, there is also a cost for not doing it.

Comment by hbhansen on August 8, 2008 at 5:55am: The Utah Pickens Group had a meeting with reps at the State Capital last night and here are some things we all need to think about.
It was a good 1st meeting that we can continue to build on in the future.
A monthly meeting would seem to be a good idea at the capital so we can meet with our reps.
It seems to me that the biggest problem is not having windmill manufacturing in the USA and the lead time for them is very long now.
Also the stations for natural gas need to be increased with better maintenance.
The converstion of cars/trucks need to be less costly and with less paperwork for natural gas.
Maybe we can push these subjects for the next meeting with our reps.

Comment by Kathy Lee Hart on August 7, 2008 at 3:44am: I’m Pretty Proud of this!

Comment by hbhansen on August 4, 2008 at 3:59pm: I have recently read that the democrates have finished their party platform already and thats why you dont see them asking for your advice on energy. They have it all done without your input. Everyone complaining about republicans should look in the mirror and see that they are not open-minded.
